May. The Gardeners Kalendar. 139 

 In the beginning of this month you fliould 

 few Purflane, in the open ground, and a little 

 Endive for blanching early in the feafon, but 

 this which is fown fo early is apt to run up 

 for feed very foon, fo muft not be depended up- 

 on to fupply the table long ; continue to fow 

 all the forts of fmall fallet-herbs every three 

 or four days, otherwife there will not be a fup- 

 ply of thefe fit for ufe ; for, at this feafon, 

 they foon grow too large : but thefe fhould be 

 fown in a north border, where they may have 

 little fun, or be well fhaded in the heat of the 

 d^y. 



Sow Peas, and plant Beans, for latter crops 5 

 but this fliould be done on a moid foil; other- 

 wife they feldom fucceed well, unlefs the 

 feafon is uncommonly wet and cold. 



Plant Kidney Beans for a fecond crop : 

 the large Dutch fort and the fcarlet bloifom 

 Beans are the beft for this feafon, becaufe they 

 will continue bearing much longer than any 

 other, and are alfo far better for the table ; a- 

 bout the twenty-third day of this month you 

 fliould fow Cauliflowers, for winter ufe, ob- 

 ferving to fhade the bed with mats every day, 

 and keep the ground moift ; otherwife the feeds 

 will dry, and the plants will come up very 

 fparingly; the plants v/hich are raifed at this 



feafon
